Keanu Reeves, Crispin Glover, and Dennis Hopper star in a film truly from the 80s, complete with jean vests and exclamations of "radical". River's Edge tells the story of a group of friends and how they react when one of them kills his girlfriend, and shows off her dead body to the rest. The movie paints a picture of delinquency - truant kids with no solid home base smoking, drinking, stealing, and otherwise with no regard for authority. Loyalty to one another is of high regard, and a warped perspective of what is "right" and "wrong" influence their every move. An interesting film, better than I expected.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
